Visit a New Park
Two parks opened last weekend – a section of Pasir Panjang Park and Bukit Gombak Park.
Pasir Panjang Park can be found just behind the Pasir Panjang Food Centre. It is a short 450 metre section which has a nature playgarden. It is fairly close to Reflections at Bukit Chandu (which is up the hill). Read more about it here.
Bukit Gombak Park is located on a little knoll opposite the Bukit Batok Driving Centre. You can climb to the top to admire the butterfly garden or visit its (tad bit small) playground too. Find out more details here.
